Interested in learning more about Python? Have a project you want to solve with Python but not sure where to begin? Whether you are looking for advice or assistance with new or current projects, or looking to discuss and learn new skills using Python tools, PUG is here to help! We can help you plan and scope your project and support you in using Python in your scholarship.
Python Users’ Group (PUG) is a bi-weekly, open, and informal opportunity for those interested in the Python programing language to come to the GC Digital Scholarship Lab and find support.
PUG is staffed by the GC Digital Fellows, who have experience with many of the most popular open-source toolkits for Python and are happy to help troubleshoot particular problems and snags that you might be experiencing.
PUG is great for scholars of a range of levels. If you’ve taken the Introduction to Python Workshop, PUG is a great place to practice and expand your skills in a supportive environment. For intermediate and experienced Python users, PUG can help you figure out a particular package or toolkit.
We are excited to help you get started!
We offer assistance with:
- Learning how to install Python on your personal computer;
- Finding common patterns across many texts
- Creating data visualizations for conference presentations, for papers, or for sharing on your personal website;
- Cleaning, organizing, and managing data
- Preparing data for machine learning and interpreting results
Join us!
In Spring 2017, PUG will meet alternating Thursdays from 12:00 – 2:00 PM in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414. See our Calendar for more!
Registration is not required, although we encourage you to bring your own laptop.
